ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction: <\/strong>Anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of human body .Museum in anatomy is a place where bones, models , charts, wet specimen of permanent value are kept and displayed. An attractive and innovative anatomical museum plays a vital role in furthering the interest and educating a medical student.With the help of wet specimen, the students get much information about the normal anatomical parts along with variations in the distribution of nerves, vessels, muscles etc. Once a specimen has undergone fixation it is essential to color and label the specimen in order to ensure better visualization of required structures.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: <\/strong>The present study was conducted on 50 wet specimens taken from the well embalmed dissected cadavers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College & Hospital, Solan, India. We utilized acrylic paints, white enamel paint and transparent nail paint to color arteries, veins, nerves and impressions on the viscera .Then these colored specimen were kept in formalin filled jars.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>The painted specimen kept in jars filled with formalin solution remained stable without any visible change in color for a period of two years.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: Coloring the important structures and landmarks with acrylic paints ,enamel and nail paint is non-toxic and increases durability of specimen.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>Wet Specimen, Museum, Anatomy, Color, Preserving.<\/p>\n
